Asthma

Inflammation of the airways

It is a chronic disease of the respiratory system in which inflammation narrows the airways from the nose and mouth to the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing. Signs and symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing.

Yes, all prescribed medications are allowed on airplanes.

Steroids are used to treat lung inflammation that can occur in emphysema. But steroids cannot correct the underlying problem, which is that many of the alveoli have collapsed so there is less gas exchange.

They usually use it when they feel an attack coming on.

There is no cure, only treatments. Some are nutritive (herbal) while others such as inhalers are prescription medicines (bronchodilators).

Sadly, some people cannot be cured of their Asthma -- the herbal treatments may work for some people, but not for everyone. Many children and adults have severe asthma which only responds to prescription medication. You should never stop taking your prescriptions without checking with your doctor, as your asthma may be life-threatening.

Stress is a big contributor to alot but when it comes to your ticker you only have one.So when you get this feeling get to hospital or Dr. but definitely get it checked out by a professional.

Asthma has many kinds of treatments, like the nebulizers (if that's how its spelt) at hospitals. However to treat asthma at home inhalers are used. there are many kinds of inhalers and the GP or nurse will supply the sufferer the best care possible. in order to do so it may mean taking a certain inhaler upto 4 times a day, it may mean only taking a certain inhaler whenever needed. Another help for people with asthma is steriods and antibiotics.However many treatments there are there is no cure for asthma just ways to relieve the lungs.

Licorice root extract. Helps by decreasing the breakdown of cortisol in the bloodstream.

It depends on what is causing the sleep apnea. It is preexisting if it is caused by tonsils, adnoids, or an elongated uvula. It is not preexisting if it is caused by being overweight, or possibly by a deviated septum.

I have had asthma for 13 years now, and I have driven many many miles since I was first diagnosed. Driving while having an asthma attack is not preferable, but it can still be done. The best thing for everyone's safety is to pull over some where safe and use your rescue inhaler. Because I had small children when I was first diagnosed, I wanted to be sure that everyone would be safe if I had an asthma attack when driving. So I taught my son how to steer the car over to the side of the road and put the car into park,just in case mom couldn't. All my children also knew how to call 911 by 4 years old for just such an emergency.

Theoretically, vampires are impervious to any disease. People whoTHINK they are vampires will continue to suffer from and catch diseases just as they did before the adopted their " vampire " lifestyle. Just drinking blood does not improve your health. Instead, it can expose you to diseases you may never come into contact with normally.

no becasue asthma is a respitory problem and it is no into your blood stream having that said therfore it couldn't be touched by your immune system also it doesn't even have the chemical inside it to get rid of asthma anyway only steroids do.

nothing, in fact marijuana is good for asthma

Weathers like a storm or cold weather with dry air a common asthma trigger for asthma. However, most of the case those who are working or playing under winder weather they have maximum chances for enduring the asthma. Although now there are some treatments like salt therapy through saltair device (available in stores like "salinetherapy") are helping for getting control over it. However being care full in cold weather is a smart move for be safe.

Your best bet is to consult your physician...higher doses of Vicodin can have a potentially harmful effect on the respiratory system, and with your asthma, this risk could be significantly increased...

If it is understood that asthma onset conditions require a specific atmosphere, precautions can be made to avoid the problem. There are three main items for consideration, general health, emotional stress situation and created allergy/allergen exposure. Simply analysing virtually any asthmatic problem invariably will find repeated antibiotic involvement, often from a very young age. Most often with very young children another commonality is generic cows based formulae and short term breastfeeding. Think about it! If these items are considered as very much involved in the majority of cases and conducive for the problem onset, a new train of thought emerges. If the original allergy that causes the original problem can be avoided or detected early enough, the problem can be avoided. All body signals must be learned and understood, sneezing, rashes or whatever. A further recent finding here in Australia is that omega3 fatty acid oils taken during pregnancy virtually eliminate allergy problems with children. So all this is just the tip of the iceberg, the problem can be avoided but requires logic and commonsense, removing the cause addresses the effect, not long term medication!

You should check it out with your doctor, but I'm pretty sure it's possible. I have a friend who has a son who's had asthma since he was under a year old. WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT OUR 5 MONTH OLD DOES HAVE ASTHMA! SHE HAS HAD A CONSTANT COUGH FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BUT NO FEVER! I AM JUST HAPPY THAT WE FOUND OUT BEFORE THINGS GOT REALLY BAD!

Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways. If you have asthma symptoms/risks are: wheezing, trouble breathing, coughing, etc. You can have an asthma attack which is loss of breath and a tight chest. This can be dangerous as there is a possibility that you can utterly stop breathing if the attack is so severe.

NO! if you have asthma then DO NOT take paracetamol as recent studies show paracetamol causes narrowing of the airways and the nasal passage. so please try to avoid it

Like most complete answers, it depends.

Many asthmatics already have underlying inflammation in their lung tissue. The more this tissue is inflamed before being exposed to the asthma trigger, the shorter the time it will take for you to notice an attack attack starting and/or the more severe the asthma attack will likely be. Many asthma attacks are caused by a reaction to a trigger.

Many reactions will start to manifest the beginning symptoms within 30 minutes and most, but not all reactions will manifest symptoms within 90 minutes, meaning that it is very possible to have a nearly immediate reaction (within 3-5 minutes), but sometimes a reaction will take very long to manifest. This is why people who get allergy injection therapy, where the body is being directly exposed to an asthma trigger, must wait at least 20 minutes in the office just in case a reaction manifests. If the trigger is a food allergy, the possible reaction time range can be larger (like seconds all the way up to hours) since, for some people, the food must be digested before they have an reaction and for some people, the slightest exposure to the food can cause a rapid, and deadly reaction called Anaphylaxis.

There is also a possible three-day delay for some specific triggers, like pollen and cockroaches.

This is why preventive asthma medicines are very important in the treatment of asthma. They can delay, mitigate, and/or prevent asthma attacks by reducing the underlying inflammation in their lung tissue. The most common of these medicines are leukotriene receptor antagonist, like Singulair or Accolate in the US, and inhaled corticosteroids, like fluticasone propionate. In the US, the medicine called Advair contains both fluticasone propionate and salmeterol xinafoate, a short-medium action asthma medicine. Of course, other countries use other names for their brand name medicines. i have asthma and it sucks munkey butt
